Ladies and gentlemen, the canvas is up, the lamps are lit and a single acrobat waits at the head of a wooden runway. Tonight's programme runs in four parts. Act one The main show is a campaign of twelve acts, from Opening Act through Hoop Alley and High Wire to Finale Flip. Each one is a fixed stretch of runway, 200 metres at the start and 600 metres by the close, while striped hoops rush towards the ring along three lanes. Swipe or tap to hop between them. Reach the end of an act for its first star, and gather enough spangles on the way for the second and third, with 36 stars in the full programme. Act two The Timed Trial gives the performer sixty seconds on the boards and nothing more. The hoops follow the same layout on every attempt, so each try teaches you a little more of the pattern, and the score is simply the distance covered before the clock reaches zero. Your longest run is shown on the home screen. Act three Behind the curtain, eight costumes hang ready, from Classic Scarlet and Azure Aerialist to Velvet Diva and Flame Finale. Each one opens with campaign stars or spangle totals and is worn on the 3D acrobat in every run. Eleven badges, from First Bow to Whirlwind, follow acts cleared, stars, spangles, trial distance, runs and quiz answers. Between performances, the Ringside Quiz offers 22 questions on artistic, rhythmic and trampoline gymnastics, ten to a round with four answers each. Finale Every spangle collected fills the momentum meter, and once it is full a tap on Leap sends the acrobat into a short burst of speed, the flourish the audience waits for. Haptics can be switched off in Settings, and the whole show runs offline, with no account and no advertising.
